Chapter 190

This stuff was indeed very fragrant. Mrs. Yu didn’t think much about it, and she didn’t even think there was anything wrong with Mr. Zhou asking. But not everyone could tell the recipe, so she said, “This is our family’s business. After the New Year, we will It’s going to open, you’ll know when the time comes.”

After saying that, Mrs. Yu entered the kitchen again, and Mrs. Zhou followed in without saying a word.

"Sister, you are out of touch when you say this. Since it is a business, I must understand it first. Otherwise, how can I help you after the New Year?"

She walked inside, and He Jiuniang brought a plate of food to her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zhou, can you help serve the food? There are too many people in the kitchen to take care of this."

With a plate of meat stuffed into her hands, Ms. Zhou swallowed again in a hopeless manner, but still persisted: "I just saw that you were too busy and wanted to come in and help."

"Yes, Sister-in-law Zhou is just helping us by serving the food. Come on!"

He Jiuniang always smiles very kindly, making it impossible for people to refuse her.

Mrs. Zhou's original idea was to take the food out and come back later, without even thinking about eating it secretly.

Who would have thought that He Jiu Niang would put another plate of food into her hands when she came in, and her anger would become stronger and stronger.

But, she couldn't say anything.

After serving the food for once, there was finally nothing left to serve. She walked inside again, and He Jiuniang said: "Sister-in-law Zhou has just helped. Go out and wait for dinner. You are a guest, so I don't want you to work too hard." "

Mainly because He Jiuniang smiled very gently when she said this, which made people feel very polite and warm, as if she was thinking about her at every turn.

But Zhou's purpose was not here. She said, "It's troublesome for you to live here. Naturally, I can't do nothing. If there is anything else you need to do in the kitchen, just leave it to me!"

"It's okay. You must be tired from washing so many dishes..."

He Jiuniang was pushing and shoving with her, but Mrs. Yu didn't want to pay attention to her and called out: "Leizi, come and deliver these dishes to the girls in the workshop next door."

They are the six little girls who were bought back to work in the food workshop. Logically speaking, they are servants and should come to help at this time. However, the Lu family still likes to do things by themselves. The few girls live alone in the workshop. On the other side, celebrating the New Year alone.

The Lu family is still a very humane master. Even if they are allowed to celebrate the New Year alone, they will still give them food.

Lei Zi responded and came in. When Zhou heard that he was going to the workshop next door, he immediately grabbed the food box from Yu's hand and said, "I'll go, I'll go! It just so happens that I don't have anything to do!"

Mrs. Yu immediately frowned, not everyone can enter the food workshop.

"Let Leizi go, the girl over there in the workshop doesn't know you."

Yu refused and wanted to grab the food box.

He Jiuniang grabbed her and said, "Sister-in-law, it's okay. We'll get to know each other sooner or later. Sister-in-law Zhou can go if she wants."

Yu glanced at He Jiuniang and suddenly understood what she meant. In the end, she didn't say anything and let Zhou go.

Although Zhou has just arrived, the food workshop is right next to it, so it's not a big problem.

Knocked on the door, and the little girl who opened the door was about the size of a lotus flower, named Yuelan.

"Excuse me?"

Yue Lan had never seen Zhou before, so she was a little nervous for a while.

"I am the eldest sister-in-law of the Lu family. I just came here today and brought you some food."

Zhou said with a smile, stepped away from Yue Lan, and walked inside.

Yuelan was a little panicked. Why did she have to come in after delivering something?

"Thank you, auntie, please give me the food box."

She chased after him, but Mr. Zhou held the food box tightly and refused to let go, and then wanted to go inside.Several other little girls were also busy in the kitchen here. When they saw Mr. Zhou, they were all puzzled.

Zhou introduced herself again and then wandered around minding her own business.

Several little girls looked at each other, wondering what she meant.

Mrs. Zhou didn't care about this. When she saw several rooms with locked doors, she stepped forward and opened them twice, asking, "What are these rooms for? Why are they locked?"

"This is the workshop stove. It will not be used during the Chinese New Year, so it is locked up."

Yue Lan answered obediently.

"Isn't it just a stove? Why is it locked? Do you have the key? Open it and let me take a look."

Just as Yue Lan was about to speak, Yue Tong, who was a little older next to her, took the lead and said: "Auntie, you are joking. We are just servants. How can we have the key to the master's house? The key is with the old lady."

"Are you all servants? Servants of the Lu family?"

Mrs. Zhou's eyes widened, the Lu family was really amazing, they could even afford servants.

"Yes, master, we bought it from Ren Yazi, who has been so kind to us, and we are very grateful."

Yuetong smiled and said it sincerely.

Knowing that they were just servants, Mr. Zhou suddenly felt that he was superior to others, and his tone instantly showed disdain: "You should be grateful, otherwise you don't know what the end will be like!"

She couldn't stand these little girls. They were obviously just servants, but they were well-dressed. They all had new clothes, and they were more sophisticated than she was.

The few girls looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mrs. Zhou lay down in the crack of the door and looked at it, but couldn't see anything. Then she turned around and asked, "You really don't have the key?"

"Of course there is no key. If you want to get in, you can go to the old lady to get the key. The old lady is still very talkative."

Yuetong answered respectfully, but her attitude was firm.

"Tch, if she can give it to me, why should I do this!"

Zhou was immediately unhappy, gave Yue Lan the food box, and turned to leave.

Yuelan asked in a low voice: "Sister Yuetong, the key is clearly with you, how can you say you don't have it? This is a relative of the master's family."

Yue Lan is younger and not familiar with worldly affairs. She thinks more simply and thinks that the relatives of the Lu family are all good people.

"Little fool, this Aunt Zhou has ulterior motives at first glance. How could she really take out the key? And don't forget, our master's surname is Lu, not Zhou. We must remember this truth in the future. The master treats us Well, we can’t do anything that would be embarrassing to our master so easily.”

Yuelan understood it when she heard it, and immediately said: "I understand, thank you sister Yuetong for reminding me."

Several other little girls also nodded, saying that they would pay more attention in the future.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Zhou is so unlovable, the main reason is that she has such a strong purpose and doesn't hide it, even smarter people can see it.

When we returned, the Lu family had already sat down to prepare for dinner. It was already dark now, so it was indeed a New Year's Eve dinner.

He Jiuniang glanced at her and asked pretending to be concerned: "Why has Sister-in-law Zhou been gone for so long? Did she not find the place?"

"No, no, I went there and saw a few little girls. They were so pitiful that they had no father or mother, so I chatted with them for a few words."

Zhou was able to cope with it easily, thinking that only she knew what she had done there just now, but little did she know that He Jiuniang had already seen it all.
